After reading a thread about Google Suggest and Übersuggest I want to show a couple of tricks.
How Übersuggest Works
When you enter a keyword in Übersuggest and put a check mark in the “expand” box the computer magic run off and do 25 searches for you – 1 for each letter of the alphabet:
- keyword a…
- keyword b…
- keyword c…
- and so on
Must… have… more… results!
When you are using Übersuggest, it is easy to forget that there are often more than 10 results for “keyword a…”.
“Poker” is an example of a keyword that has more than 10 results for “a…”: See what it looks like.
When doing a search for “poker a” it turns out that there are an additional 27 results that didn’t get displayed when doing our first search: Have a look-see!
Google suggest API (nerdiness!)
I’m not sure if this is officially supported, but it as far as I can tell it works flawlessly:

If you know whether or not there are any official documentation available, please let me know.
Yahoo Suggest API
I haven’t tried this yet, but I do have a little experience using Yahoo’s API for other things, and am pretty confident that you won’t have any trouble figuring out how to use Yahoo’s suggest API:
